Hi folks - new to this group. Built a couple of Billing Boats RC models in my youth but nothing for a long,long time. Now that I am retired, I thought I would try and pick up where I left off and see whether I still have the passion (and eyesight 😂) for this hobby. Have read through loads of comments on here about being realistic at the beginning for your model ship making journey, so hopefully I have chosen my first adventure wisely. I do like the style of sloops/ cutters, and I have been lucky enough to pick up what I think is an absolute bargain off ebay. Maybe not the easiest, certainly not the hardest, but still a very pretty vessel despite its dark history.  My new baby?  “Dos Amigos” Bajel Negrero from Golden Kits. Wish me luck 😀

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
